Peripatos

Guide basé sur le GPS pour l'éducation en plein air

Peripatos is an outdoor application for education purposes. It uses geolocation technologies to provide content for the user depending on his/her location.

The Peripatos webpage provides an easy to handle interface for teachers, educators and other content creaters to create their own study materials in the form of guided tours: walking trips or journeys by train or boat.

The text-to-speech software reads the content for the users based on their location putting emphasis on the correct pronunciation of terminologies.

Quizes can be also added to texts.

The result is a geotargeted audio-material which can present the studied subject on-the-spot, within the framework of a walking tour or a trip by public transport.
